I wish I'd thought of it!

??? That link takes me to a swedish(?) review site reviewing The Doll Who Ate His Mother... which is the same title as shows on the side of the book on the shelves near me at the moment. Am I being stupid here? I can't see this alternative title?

I was assuming it was the 'Boekverslag' part, which sounds like something involving vomit and a woman of ill-repute.

Scroll down the page, you'll find it - it's in English....

Yes i found it - in the section titled "Alternatieve titel:" which I'm guessing translates as the title of this thread...

Boekverslag, based on my school german and applying the principles to whichever germanic language this is, would appear to translate to book review.

It looks like Dutch. And, ah yes, I see it now.

Other alternative titles, I guess, include: 'Cor, It's Dark in These Woods', 'What a Weird Dream' and 'I Knew I Should Have Left Those Silent Movies Alone'.

It's Dutch. The "nl" in the url stands for Netherlands.

Love that "alternative title"!

Great minds think alike, John - at exactly the same time!

Love your alternative titles too.

It IS Dutch. I could translate this, but seeing as it's full of factual error I'd rather not.
